Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension provide water with a high tensile strength that means that it:
1. is capable of rising in a thin tube
2. has a low specific heat
3. resists a pulling force
4. is a universal polar solvent

Consider the following:
I. Creation of pull for absorption and transport in plants
II. Supply of water for photosynthesis
III. Transport of minerals from leaves to all parts of a plant
IV. Cooling of leaf surface
V. Maintenance of shape and structure of plants by keeping the cells turgid
Functions of transpiration include:
1. All
2. All but III
3. All but V
4. All but III and IV

The evolution of C4 photosynthetic system is probably one of the strategies for:
1. | maximizing the availability of oxygen in spite of continuing high amount of water loss |
2. | maximizing availability of water in spite of continuing high amount of carbon dioxide loss |
3. | reducing the amount of water loss but leads to decreased availability of carbon dioxide |
4. | maximizing the availability of carbon dioxide while minimizing water loss |

Unlike water, all minerals cannot be passively absorbed by the roots. This is due to:
I. Minerals are present in the soil as charged particles
II. Concentration of minerals in soil is generally less than the concentration of minerals in roots
The correct statements are:
1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both 1 & II are incorrect
4. Both 1 & II are correct

The control points where a plant adjusts the quality and types of solutes that reach the xylem are:
1. Transport proteins of endodermal cells | 2. Root hair |
3. Parenchyma cells of the root cortex | 4. Casparian strips |

Unloading of mineral ions occurs at the fine vein endings through:
1. diffusion and, are passively taken up by the sink cells
2. active transport and, are passively taken up by the sink cells

An analysis of xylem exudates will show that most of the nitrogen is carried as:
1. Inorganic ions
2. Ammonia dissolved in water
3. Dinitrogen
4. Organic compounds such as amino acids

Phloem sap is mainly:
1. Glucose and Water
2. Hormones and Amino acids
3. Water and Sucrose
4. Amino acids and water
Unlike xylem, the movement of sap in phloem is:
1. essentially unidirectional
2. from a sink to a source
3. independent of movement of water
4. in any direction from source to a sink

During mass flow in phloem, active transport is required:
1. For uploading sap
2. For unloading sap
3. Both for uploading and unloading the sap
4. Active transport is not required
